Ben Castellot

Men's soccer freshman forward Ben Castellot netted Tufts' only two goals in the Jumbos' wining effort versus the Trinity Bantams on Saturday at home on Kraft Field. The Newton, Mass. native scored the first goal of the game in the 17th minute of play. Sophomore Mike Guigli crossed the ball and Castellot was there to outsmart the Trinity keeper and drive a left-footed shot into the far corner of the net.

The second time around in the 73rd minute, Castellot received a pass from sophomore Todd Gilbert and used his quick feet to maintain possession and tap in the game winner. Castellot was the key player in giving Tufts its fourth consecutive win over Trinity and also bringing the Jumbos back up to the .500 mark in the NESCAC with a 2-2-1 league record. Saturday's two goals were Castellot's second and third of his regular season collegiate career.



Jayme Heller

Junior field hockey defender Jayme Heller scored the winning stroke in Tufts' exciting 1-0 victory over the Trinity College Bantams on Saturday. Heller found the back of the cage in the fifth round of penalty strokes after her team had battled the Bantams to a 0-0 tie over the course of a whole game and two overtime periods.

Heller is currently the third-leading Jumbo scorer with two goals on the season. She also has recorded one assist to bring her point total up to five. The Chadds Ford, PA native and Westtown School alum helped her team edge closer to a winning season mark with the win over Trinity. The Jumbos now stand at 4-5 on the year, but have a winning 3-2 record over NESCAC opponents. Though she was a contributor on the field in the past, Heller has scored all of her collegiate goals during this 2003 season.
